Radar activated for this second opus, in which underwater research opened up in Brittany. The result? A rich and diversified artistic breeding ground, blending deep-sea electronic sounds with exhilarating progressive rhythms. “Sonar Links” brings together 6 artists from Rennes and Brest, through a Various Artists whose worlds we (re)discover.

PREMIERE: Don:Benito - Clearance Of Time

Ode to self is the debut album from DJ & composer Jordan Quimerch under the alias āmui.
10 tracks oscillating between ambient, experimental, dub, trip-hop, downtempo & ambient techno.

This album is also the first release on his label Modern Mistakes.
This first album concretizes āmui's artistic project which is orientated towards meditative and
introspective music.

The theme of this first album is the principle of change.
The idea is to symbolize, in 10 musical landscapes, the initiatory journey towards change and the path towards “bliss”, which is described as the state of ultimate enlightenment in many religions, in spirituality and in esotericism.
The album is divided into 5 chapters which symbolize the 5 stages of change: precontemplation,
contemplation, determination, action, maintenance.
Each stage corresponds to a sound aesthetic. We start from an austere landscape and gradually arrive at increasingly soothing sounds.

A decade-long dial tone vibrates between two skylines, cloud-streaked and crackling with forgotten breakbeats.

From countryside calm to cosmic dancefloor calls, Manata digs for nuggets of gold - both musical and metaphysical. Having grown from small-town gigs in central Portugal to sunrise closings on Berlin’s Hoppetosse and label showcases in Brooklyn, João Manata's journey is one shaped by persistence, dusty grooves, and a Fantom 06 that rarely leaves his side. The DJ/producer’s story isn’t one of overnight buzz, but of careful curation, endless digging, and a love for records that started with Stevie Wonder and unexpectedly found its way to ‘90s Trance gems.

Now with the launch of his new label Red Beryl Records – a spiritual successor to his Nugs On Board imprint – Manata revisits the past to shape the future, uncovering unheard treasures from decades gone by. “Since Nugs is all about precious gems, I got the idea for Red Beryl after doing a small research about rare stones… it’s one of the rarest minerals on Earth,” he explains. 

In this candid and wide-ranging interview, Manata opens up about vinyl-fueled upbringings, the early Lisbon hustle, hazelnut cookies in the studio, and the joy of seeing a dancefloor respond to a long-forgotten Belgian trance record from 1995.

“For me, producing or playing music is like telling a story. I love to get vocal samples from old movies or NASA space journeys and build my tracks around that.”

Prepare to dig deep with Manata - because the gold’s always there for those willing to unearth it.

Late Night Drive - Dennis - 06 Sep 2025

Most of you will know Thomas Hammann from his mix CD for Live at Robert Johnson, a collaboration with Gerd Janson. Hammann is a DJ since the early 80s and few have soaked up German house history like him: What fire Ata Macias kindled with the Wild Pitch Club during the mid-nineties in Frankfurt, Thomas Hammann ignited at the Kesselhaus in nearby Darmstadt. In July, Thomas debuted as a producer on Workshop, under the name 808 mate: with nothing less but a Grace Kelly of a house track, luminously beautiful.

Nr. 56: Thomas Hammann (Workshop, Robert Johnson)

In a digitized and uber-scrutinized world of electronic music, there are not many things left to the realm of the mythical. You might call magical the way, how the Norwegian label Sex Tags Mania is constantly furthering our consciousness and feeding our appetite for the leftfield, the exquisite, the droll on the house floor. We're very happy to welcome Moss very own DJ Fett Burger in our midst, who has completed two bouncy hours of Chicago House by way of Norway, complete with special edits for this mix and some mystery tracks.

Nr. 57: DJ Fett Burger (Sex Tags Mania)

Disco-Renegades. House-Eccentrics. Purveyors of electronic freemasonry. Ok, I might exaggerate a bit here, but the Sex Tags Mania label has been Tagged many things. “They just don’t care”, one fan once said in an interview. Well, they do care, do what they believe in, being die-hard vinyl lovers and all. Ever persistent in their curiosity for new and old sounds, the Norwegians have been running their Bergen-based label since 2004. DJ Sotofett and DJ Fett Burger are also great artists, just take a look at their<a href="http://sextags.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> work</a>. This is a place where the aesthetic of old-school Chicago flyers clashes with black and white mutations of comic heroes of yonder: No wonder their Tag line runs "Graffiti can't be stopped.". DJ Sotofett's mix is an assemblage of some of his  classic house favourites: Be sure not to miss the part where he does his shout-outs in Norwegian.
